The budget isnβt super tight, but nothing is open yet where I am. Iβm just a bit hungry at the moment, because I missed eating for most of yesterday.
When the stores do open, Iβll be at work and will have to wait until after my shift to buy more food.
I hadnβt heard about this aspect of fire safety before today, so I figured I would see if anyone on here knew more about it. Thank you for responding!
Weβre pretty much all strangers online, correct?
If something is posted that is provably false, it is provably false. It doesnβt matter if the poster regularly posts accurate things about another subject. The post would still be provably false, even if the poster was normally truthful about barley.
Imo, if someone wants to be seen as honest, the onus is on them to act honestly. If you act in a way thatβs dishonest, people will likely acknowledge that youβre acting in a way thatβs dishonest. If their only experience of you is through you being dishonest, it only makes sense that theyβll think that youβre dishonest.
No one is owed being considered as an honest and trustworthy person. If you do lie, you should expect the people who you lied to to no longer trust you. Why would they? Thatβs not a reasonable expectation to have.
Being considered as an honest person is one of those things that you kind of have to do to earn. If you act dishonestly, it would be silly to expect other people to still consider you as an honest person. You donβt get to mislead people and then become upset when they donβt believe you anymore. That isnβt rational.
Itβs pretty easy to avoid being labaled as a liar online, tbh. Verify your stuff before you post it. Donβt double down against solid evidence, especially without any of your own. Donβt make stuff up. Accept and acknowledge that you can be wrong sometimes, and strive for the correct answer instead of the one that βwinsβ the argument for you.
Misinformation is dangerous, and it deserves to be called out. Misinformation can cause a lot more harm than someone occasionally being called a βliarβ online by a random stranger.
I would also argue that most people probably havenβt really had problems with being called a βliarβ online.
If the misinformation is about how many seeds an orange has, people probably wonβt care too much, as it doesnβt really cause a lot of harm. That type of misinformation usually just gets passively corrected.
If the misinformation ends with someone else suffering, it will likely get called out harshly, and probably deservedly so.
I donβt know whatβs happened to cause you to dislike people being called liars to this extent, but there is a good reason for people doing that sometimes. Iβm not going to stalk your page or comments, so idk where you personally fall on that. Calling someone a βliarβ is similar to calling someone βdishonestβ.
Thatβs a joke, right? When I looked it was only 500 to 620 a month per kid.
You have baby items to worry about, needing a crap ton of clothes (kids grow a LOT), having adequate nutrition (growth spurts too), school supplies, and more. If youβre already barely making ends meet, of COURSE youβll struggle if you add another human being. Of course, cost of living also varies by area, as well as public transportation. Without that, youβd have to hope that you live near essentials like a family doctor, or youβd have to pony up even more money for a car and child seat.
If thatβs not enough, you also get the fun of society looking down on your for βhaving kids before you were readyβ. Many of us heard that from adults throughout the entire time we grew up. Why voluntarily walk into that? Nah. IF I ever have a kid, it wonβt be untilI can guarantee that that doesnβt happen.
When I saw this post, I also thought about places like Camp, California, who werenβt so lucky in terms of having a safe electric infrastructure. I imagine it might be trickier to shift over in those types of areas.
Itβs awesome that they managed that in BC. I hope more places gain that kind of stability.
I mean, a heck of a lot of people do get by just fine using public transport.
I think a nice balance would be better, personally, but it is an option. Public transit would be more viable if we increased itβs infrastructure. I believe that more people would use it if it was more appealing.
Sometimes it can be fun to not need to drive lol. Some of the best nights out over the last year ended in a bus ride home. Nobody had to be the DD this way.
I donβt know why, but I feel like I should also specify that we kept to ourselves and didnβt really talk while we were on the bus those nights.
I think it also has to do with the overall bad mental health that a lot of people have. We donβt really have a lot of truly helpful solutions for most people.
Yeah, we have some facilities, but they can be inaccessible. If youβre in denial over struggling, you might think that the amount you drink is ok, even if that amount might not actually be ok. Someone might see mental health or addiction stereotypes and think to themselves βIβm not as bad as that guyβ, and then that person believes that they are ok when they really arenβt ok.
If someone seriously doesnβt want to stick around, theyβre probably not going to care about littering. If someone hates everyone, theyβre probably more likely to feel ok stealing. If someoneβs constantly in mental agony, they might look for anything to escape it. If you think dinner is completely ruined, you probably wonβt fret about what drink you want to pair with it.
None of this makes the bad stuff ok, but I seriously think that bettering our countryβs mental health services would go a very long way in culling addiction. What weβre doing now certainly isnβt working.
